chase the revenue and that is probably the best way to do it they have 8 of these aircraft these focker $100.00 and this has twin engines set towards the rear of the aircraft unlike the max a which has engines set well forward and this probably helps to ensure that the aircraft didn't catch fire so that is one saving grace the whole point that this aircraft scenes have come down. it seems to hit a concrete barrier or barrier maka before it plowed into the side of a house the pictures i seem suggest that the front section came off completely and the rear section. tail end came off and they're separated from the hole in the middle which seems to be on its belly so people could actually step off that part of the plane which is quite remarkable now they'll be an investigation walk us through that what kind of things can we expect. well what normally happens is that countries like would call on their allies who have got a very experienced and have a geisha in the center and these investigators will go in the 1st thing is to secure the area to put those cordon sanitaire if you like around the

investigators say the aircraft specifically a focker 100 plane plunged to the ground seconds into the flight, broke through a concareer barrier and hit a two-story building. as a precaution, all focker 100 planes in the country have been temporarily grounded. >>> pivoting to the impeachment of the u.s. president donald trump and his demand for a speedy trial in the senate, that demand seems to be going nowhere fast. the president showing sign that's it's apparently ruining his vacation as our phil mattingly reports. >> as president trump continued his holiday twitter barrage against democrats on impeachment, speaker pelosi is continuing to press her party's case in her own tweet. yet for all the 280-character thoughts, the battle over what the looming senate trial will look like remained where it's been for days, at an impasse. sources telling cnn no conversations between the top two senate leaders have occurred or are likely to before january. and with tangible action tabled for the moment, a clear democratic strategy has to some degree emerged, to get under the president's skin. som

particular airline it is because the fleet of that airline only consists of this aircraft it's called focker $100.00 it's a middle saw a twin turbo fan a short range regional jet it was produced by a dutch company before. and. the production stopped in 997 this particular plane was 23 years old so it's one of the final planes that came out of production i can tell you that there are more than 100 of them still in 'd operation it's been widely used by 2 major australian airlines as a regional jet such as quantas and virgin it's also used in iran and like i said this aircraft is the only 'd one in operation by back air that is the 2nd most popular domestic airline in kazakstan and now of course the scramble to find out exactly why this happened is underway one of the catholic authorities been doing so well 1st of all they grounded all flights of this particular airline type so that means the airline cannot operate at the moment which is a logical decision after something like that happened i can tell you that of course almost 'd 1000 rescue workers are currently doing their best to help the su

the plane itself well this is a medium sized twin turbo fan short range regional jet it's called focker 100 it was produced by a dutch company before it went bankrupt up until one thing 97 but this particular plane was 23 years old so it was one of the final ones to be produced by that company it's still that widely operated by 2 major airlines in australia for example as a regional jet by quantas and virgin it's also being operated by an iranian airline and back air this was actually the only type of aircraft that they have and while this is a big company in. kazakstan it is the 2nd most popular domestic airline that people use there for domestic flights so the onus now on the catholic authorities of coast to establish exactly what happened what if they don't so clearly grounded all flights by that type of aircraft and like i said just because its fleet only consists of this particular aircraft now they're out of operation for how long right now we don't know many people are still in critical condition so the doctors are fighting for their lives the president promised that those respon

was actually billed as slowly relatively positive going to be patience they've acquired 9 of these focker 100 aircraft and they have more of the newer types of your good jets in order in line and the falcon jets themselves or and their time were very well built and wary popular aircraft in the airline industry up until the volcker industry went into out out of business in 1906. their technology or share similar similar features that you would find in modern modern airplanes including fly by wired knology and it was also equipped with rolls royce engines which are not actually outdated so safety wise i think it will india and it will have to comply with the international standards it's not a particular problem this is an aircraft hasn't been manufactured for more than 20 years now but as you say its safety record has not really particular been in question of the amount of aircraft that type of aircraft that are still in the air . yes well despite that the production has been halted since 1907 flocka was owned by folk and industries in the netherlands but they'll ability of spare parts and

macedonia crash in 1993 brazilian crash in 1996 this as you say is a twin jet other crashes have involved fockers with propellers but in this particular case where did the authorities in terms begin the investigation will it be an internal investigation or do they bring international investigation investigators in as well. look they will bring international and investigators in they will bring in the organization that supports the or a plan i think it's far services they'll also bring in rolls royce the builder of the the engines they may elect infective effect of bringing in say the british cia or the european authorities who might have more expertise in this particular airframe. to help in the investigation but like most air crash investigations all the parties to the aircraft construct and destruction or the engine construction and sometimes the avionics suppliers are involved in a crash and there's a suggestion indeed that we are only walked within 7 hours of this accident south so very early doors are such as geoffrey thomas thanks so much for joining us from perth and thanks for your insigh
